5:2 starting today

[linkainka]

Hi
I've just finished reading the book. What a revelation!
Fasting today. Looking forward to eating tomorrow.
Would love to hear about your experiences. Xxxx

Wommer - I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL (it's me, Masquerader, with a name-change :) ). If I were you, I'd take my foot of the pedal for a little while just to get through the next few days. This will all be here waiting for you when you're ready to start again, but having your head in the right place and sharing this time with your family is the main priority right now.

Nurse - thanks heaps for that info. :)

New low for me today! 5.5lbs in 6 weeks. I think I might have a bit of bounce in there as I've had a bit of a funny tummy!

Its not great but fact I've lost as opposed to the fact that had I not been on 5:2 all the bad weekends would have meant putting it on!!

So good to feel in control. Good luck any one fasting today!!

Yay, monster!

It's great to get through Easter, and not only not put on weight, but actually lose weight. :)

I know its totally crazy....fact that I can still socialise and enjoy food with family but still on a downward trend....

This WOL is with me for GOOD!!!

Nice new name Don

Monster - if you think you'd have gained over the same period of time, and you've actually lost that's a huge result! Well done!

Thanks for the reassurance guys :) am gonna take it easy for a couple of weeks.
As long as I don't back slide too much I'll be happy.

Have a good evening all!

Week 3 starting for me, fast day nearly over. I found it reasonably easy today - had a couple of cups of tea through the day, but didn't have anything to eat until 4-ish.

I have a rotten cold though, so maybe that has killed my appetite.

Hope everyone's had a good weekend.

Starting week 7....

Fast day today and found it fine, and I'm not at work which I thought would be harder. I've recently cut out sweetners from tea/coffee after some research on asparteme and its effects on insulin spikes and weight loss stalls...

I don't know if this has had an impact but my hunger pangs are much more manageable today.

Looking forward to a nice dinner tonight...I'll eat all my calories in one meal today, apart from a couple of cups of tea.

Hi. I'm back and planning on fasting on Wednesday and Friday this week. Did only one day last week due to being away with kids and staying at my moms.
She doesn't understand fasting.
And she feeds me constantly. Need to put myself back on the track.

How's everyone doing? Xxxx

All good here thanks!

Fasted yesterday and it was a breeze. Although had an upset tummy for the last few days so really didn't feel like eating much anyway....

Trying to have a nice healthy day today to undo some of the rubbish I ate at the weekend!!!

How is everyone else doing?

Hi all. I've been away for a week and haven't been fasting. Have eaten loads and feel like I've spoilt all. Help! Perhaps a little encouragement and motivation and a few tips? Xx

Hi this is my first week fasting, I did Monday and yesterday. Woke up with a blinding headache though! Didn't feel well yesterday so wonder if its a bug rather than anything to do with fasting. Wasn't too hard, although I was very hungry at some points!! Feel really happy igot throught it though. The threads have been a great help so thank you!
